Not just Souths, though. Storm, Roosters, Broncos are all allowed to creep another 2-3 metres after the refs have called "held". Same as they can stand offside in defence, hold down, and all be in touching distance of the attackers from the play the ball when defending on their goal line.
People are slowly waking up to what the nrlol actually is, it is a rigged betting product and not a sport.
In the lead up, I was sure there had been a lost ball by Souths when the ball came free, and appeared to hit the back of a Dog's defender before it was regained. In most games, the minute the ball is lost, whether forward or back, it's a knock on as far as the refs are concerned. It sure would have been called had it been us in possession.
There must have been a fuckload of commentators and media personalities that backed Souffs for a big win and now they are piling on the pressure for the refs to go to town on us in the ruck.
Does anyone even know what the penalty was for?? I couldn't see anything.......
They were pulling this up all the time not so long ago, but now it's not even looked at. fucking joke!!
The touchie said that Reimis interfered with the support player.
Not a clue.
For mine it looked like gayguy tried to run Holland off the ball (seemed to have no intention to get the ball more block Holland so the south’s winger picked it up). And at the end of the day they are going for the same ball in a contact sport. Jostling is allowed. I was dumbfounded by that.
Good to hear you say that because while I am always suss about my bias, I did something interesting during the game. I noticed the refs were yelling at the Dogs to get off the player to play the ball, every tackle, and it felt annoyingly rushed. I wondered whether I was just noticing one side so I decided to focus on when we had the ball, how would they be with souths in the tackles. I was surprised to notice that they did not seem that vocal! They would talk, but it sounded a lot less intense. I was quite surprised by this. Mind you, I only did it for a couple of sets each way - I am now interested to do it more to see if there is something to it.Still Don’t get how we bundle Souths out in the corner by a great chase. And Souths get a penalty 60 meters away. Yet Holland gets bundled out by 3 defenders after momentum had stopped and its play on.
Honestly I’m one of the most unbiased fans ever. I’m the first to take my blue and white glasses off. But yesterday’s reffing was one of the worst displays I have ever seen in my life.
I literally felt like going to the nrl and bombing them
mate - bang on!!!!! Are these refs that blind to that? I think their bias gets exposed because one play, the South player fights Tolman and pushes 2 metres forward while Tolman is forced to march backwards as he lets him go and they get a penalty - it infuriated me thinking, are the commentators that dumb, refs that dumb - or biased? That is a blatant cunning tactic and our Club needs to fucking break it down and submit it to the NRL to show a massive issue in the officiating of the game. They did this so often in the game, wrestling and fighting, trying to lock Dogs arms into the tackle and hold on to milk a penalty, then try to tangle themselves into the player as the player tries to get off, then try to interfere with the player as he is backing away to make it look like the player is constantly holding on. This is totally shit. And gaslighting Bennet goes on about how we held on in the ruck in our 20 after he enjoyed about 6 bullshit penalties that put his side there? Fuck off you cunning prick! End of rant. That felt Better!
Wasn’t their mascot in belmore on Thursday handing out Easter eggs
like what’s next we will go lick Bennett’s ass after he shits?
That's just absolute bullshit isn't it?!!! Thats what I understood, but because I could see no evidence of it I thought I must have heard it wrong.
Ref called it a try without the help of the bunker.
